Who was Jaymir Deshea Hill?

Not much has been revealed about Hill except that investigators took him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he succumbed to his wounds even after medical personnel performed life-saving measures. Hill, a student, was a resident of the greater Cincinnati area.

At about 3:49 pm on July 9, officers were dispatched to the intersection of Burns and Washington Avenues after receiving several 911 calls about gunshots heard in the area. Authorities believe the shooting was an isolated incident.

According to witnesses, multiple suspects fled on foot after the shooting. Law enforcement has yet to share details of any suspect in the shooting.

An online obituary for Hill, published by tiffanydavila.cfd, said that the incident “has left the community in shock and mourning, as authorities work to uncover the details surrounding this devastating event.” It described Hill as “a young life full of potential” that was “taken far too soon.”

Wyoming Police, Ohio shared a media release detailing the incident on Facebook.

This criminal activity is hitting everybody and every neighborhood this has to stop”. Another user said, “Prayers and condolences to the family and friends of the deceased”.
